PITTSBURGH, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man drove a car into a metal gate at the FBI Building in Pittsburgh early on Wednesday, a ramming that the FBI described as intentional, saying the man was being sought as a suspect.
Donald Henson, of Penn Hills, Pennsylvania, allegedly drove at a high rate of speed toward the main entrance gate at about 2:40 a.m., FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Giordano told the media.
He said the suspect fled the scene and was believed to be dangerous. It was not immediately clear if Henson was armed, the FBI said.
Giordano said Henson had been identified as a former military member. He said Henson may have been experiencing a mental health issue.
After the crash, Henson allegedly exited the car, took an American flag out of the trunk and stuck it on the gate, the FBI said.
Images from the scene captured by ABC News affiliate WTAE appeared to show a white sedan sitting with a door ajar in front of a damaged metal gate near a security booth.
ABC News has reached out to the Pittsburgh Police Department.
